Hello everybody,

I've embarked on a new adventure, the Rocket by George Stepenson, built in 1829.
I found good drawings for a model of the Rocket on modelengineeringwebsite.com,
which is an interesting website for model building, with quite a lot of
CAD-drawings.
BTW After my hard disk crash, and consequently sinking of my Titanic, I'm
synchronizing my Povray sources every night on my Google cloud space.

Cheers
Ton.

Looks very promising!
Hopefully you will model the tender too.

There is much wood - in the case you are looking for a real nice wood texture -
think about a texture originating from the excellent isowood code by Christoph
Hormann - here is the code for a texture using his functions -

#macro IW_Warp_02 (Seed, xSize, ySize, zSize)

#local SZ = (xSize+ySize)*0.5*0.1;
#local Density = 0.1;
warp {
        black_hole <xSize*0.5,0,0>, SZ
        falloff 2.5
        strength 2
        repeat <min (xSize, SZ/Density),min (ySize, SZ/Density),SZ/Density>
        turbulence <0.02,0.75,0.75>
        inverse
}
#local SZ = (xSize+ySize)*0.5*0.15;
#local Density = 0.1;
warp {
        black_hole <xSize*0.5,0,0>, SZ
        falloff 2.1
        strength 3.7
        repeat <min (xSize, SZ/Density),min (ySize,
0.7*SZ/Density),0.8*SZ/Density>
        turbulence <0,0.4,0.4>
        inverse
}

#end

#macro IW_Select_Warp (WarpNbr, Seed, xSize, ySize, zSize)

IW_Warp_02 (Seed, xSize, ySize, zSize)

#end

#macro IW_Plank_Round_CutN (Seed, xSize, ySize, zSize, Rotate, Translate, Round,

Hello Norbert
yes, I'm aware of the isowood code. Renders good wood.
The model in the Railway Museum in York has the Rocket painted yellow, and
that's what I had in mind to render (to povray?) my model.
But of course I can use non-painted wood, and see how it looks. Povray will take
a lot longer though!

Cheers
Ton

Here is an update on the Rocket. I've added the front bearing and its leaf
spring.

Cheers
Ton.

Another small step to completion, the boiler has been added, plus the steam
control valve. Only speed could be regulated, no brakes!

Cheers
Ton.

If .. the brown part and yellow part of the rocket is too bright

Made some progress with my model. Added the steam dome and safety valve on top
of the boiler. Plus the smoke stack is in place.
I've also been playing with the textures and lighting. That seems like a never
ending process. It can always be improved.

Cheers
Ton.

What a beauty! I never realised somehow that the boiler was oval-shaped. 
I assumed it was circular like the more recent steam locs.

Bedankt for the compliment.
Is it oval? It's supposed to be a circle, a round circle.
